We recently got a new puppy!! I have always wanted a dog but my family and I have been too busy to take on the big commitment. Now that my dad is retired and is home most of the day, we figured it is a good time to add a new member to our family! [...]
This is Emo, an 8 month old pom. Shandy and her brother took her in after someone decided to give her away after deciding they don’t want a pet anymore! Sucks..but glad she’s found a caring home now. Her name was Momo before but she started responding to Eeeee (not really), so..she’s now Emo! Very [...]
This is the second dog we met on the trip back to Hong Kong. Tack-Tack is my cousin’s friend’s Samoyed. PYeung and I fell in love with this dog! He’s super chill and lazy. Once he lays down, you can pretty much push him across the floor like a mop to clean the floor! This [...]
I met this guy on my trip back home in Hong Kong. Marble is my uncle’s Husky. Still a big puppy and playful as ever. He loved doing figure 8s around and through my legs. Either that or he was trying to shed because my jeans became looked like his coat after about a minute. [...]
My buddy recently got new pup to be Cookie‘s new friend. Naturally, she ends up in my ‘studio’ like a super model. She was full of energy and curious as ever, but was easy enough to handle to keep on the backdrop. Shoot went very well and only took an hour and a bit from [...]
Benjamin is a doll. The shoot started off with a stroll in the park for him to run off some energy and also to do his business on the grass instead of on the backdrop. A pee stain would be cumbersome to clone out. Tested out the thunder gray, but moved back to the failed [...]
The second pet portrait session this weekend is of this big puppy. Meet Fozzie, the one year old Shar Pei. Energetic, playful and drools a river. Being a young pup that he is, he was jumpy throughout the shoot, but that is what makes him fun! This is the biggest dog I’ve shot so far [...]
Had a photo session with my friend’s pug this weekend. Continuing to build my books on pet portraits. This time I went to his place to set up the studio so I can gage how much time I needed and what kind of things I should look out for. I also timed myself to see [...]
A lot of dogs have very dark fur around their eyes. They show up as two complete black holes sometimes. I had this problem with a recent shoot with Buddy. I shot in RAW and recovered some detail in the eyes with the Adjustment Brush tool in Camera Raw. This can be done in Photoshop [...]
I am building my books on pet portraits. What I am trying to achieve is a clean studio look. My goal is to capture these pets as if they are fashion models. I may end up shooting some outdoor shots in the future, but right now I’d like to focus my efforts into studio type [...]
